Kim Jong-Un Hairstyle

Kim Jong-Un Just Got A Little Crazier

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is starting to act more and more like the parodied puppet version of his father, Kim Jong-il, in Team America: World Police all the time. This man has been quite obviously unhinged for a painfully long time, and now that lunacy has reached a hair-raising new level, awful pun entirely intended.

According to everyone's favorite publication - the Korean Times - from now on all male undergraduates in the country are only allowed one hair style and one hair style only - the ever-so-fashionable Jong-un. Yes, this short, squat little dictator's patented hairdo is evidently now a government mandated style.

Seriously. This article isn't a repost from TheOnion. Li’l Kim's not trying to be North Korea's answer to Ashton Kutcher, punking his countrymen. This is real. And it's batshit crazy.

This ridiculous mandate takes megalomania to an entirely new level. This guy thinks his hair is so damn stylish that he wants to see it on every young male face he sees - forever. Yes, one hair style for many young North Koreans, which is down from the already limited ten. Unbeknownst to most, previously North Korea only had 10 approved styles - and they all pretty much looked exactly the same, which is to say they were boring. There were no wacky Kid ‘n’ Play inspired North Koreans out there. You've never seen a North Korean with dreadlocks. In fact, there was no long hair at all, actually. As it stood, North Koreans were all pretty much rocking the same dull look anyway. But now, if reports are correct, everyone will soon look just as preposterous as this tiny little maniac.

Now some experts in the region are claiming that this story is false, but the official jury is still out. And the crazy part is, this doesn't actually sound all that unbelievable. With Jong-un's track record, this is entirely plausible.

According to the Korean publication, one smartly-anonymous source said, "Until the mid-2000s we called it the "Chinese smuggler haircut." This was apparently because the look resembled, well, Chinese smugglers. But now, thanks to everyone's favorite Supreme Leader, that almost unanimously unpopular style will be rocked all over the nation.

So if you're considering a semester abroad in beautiful North Korea, you may want to think again...for like, 1,000 different reasons, the hairstyle only being one.
